    Summary

    Mary McDonald walked away from magic after Lily and James Potter died. Betrayed by whom she loved most and racked by grief and the crushing loss of her best friend, she simply disappeared. No more wands. No more war. Just the numb safety of the Muggle World.
    Fourteen years later Remus Lupin finds her with news of Sirius innocence.

    What would happen if she decided to come back?

     

    This is a review of my old story. I decided that Mary comes back before the battle at the Department of Mysteries

    Old summary:What if Sirius doesn't die during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and is able to live his life as a free man? What if Mary finally decides to come back and take part in the fight?

    Summary

    Magic, Dorcas' mother teaches her, is the rushing force of rivers and storms bottled up inside your chest. It is the wonder and peace of the wide blue open sky. Magic is a vulture, circling and circling inside until it dives, and it must be tamed, harnessed by your fingertips and pressed gently into the world as a single unbroken thread. Magic is not to make crowds applaud and fall starry-eyed at your feet. The best magic is the kind which barely seems like magic at all.

    Dorcas disagrees.

    ~
    Dorcas Meadowes is born in 1877 and dies in 1981. A lot can happen in a lifetime of 104 years.
